Advantages: Shorter line than most

Disadvantages: Weekend disruptions

Is the Victoria Line driverless, whenever mine is delayed I have somebody explaining why. The Victoria Line is actually one of the more efficient of the London tube lines in my mind, if I want to get to Brixton from Victoria I can be there in 8 minutes, occasionally with the lines you'll get the sign there are no trains for 10 minutes, but unless theirs a problem lines are generally regular and efficient.

The trains are old and especially around Victoria and Oxford Circus they can get really busy, but you can run one end to the other in around 45-50 minutes which is quite an achievement for a tube line when some of the longer lines require around 80-90 minutes to run them fully.

My big quibble as with most lines is the inordinate amount of weekend closures for repair....ridiculous!!!

The carriages are old and seating is fine if not a bit uncomfortable, the line is deeper than many others so can take a while to access from stations but overall the line is one of the best in London and used mainly between Central London, where it can be very crowded.
